" … The program title drew my attention straightaway. When answering the question on why I decided to take part, I said it was a great challenge to me, though I realized my intention was directly linked to my country. Even now, I strongly believe the job we do is for the benefit and future of our country!"  

Nino Mestvirishvili Biology teacher in Pipileti, Oni, 2010.

"I worked in one of the Tbilisi schools when I heard about "Teach for Georgia". It was an incredible drive that totally changed my life! I discovered one of the most beautiful part of my country, and fell in love with it right away. The local residents often ask me why I have moved to a village from a capital, and I reverse the question: how do you leave this place?..."

I think I was lucky to turn up in the right place the right time." Diana BagdadelishviliGeorgian language teacher in Ieli, Mestia, 2010.

"...By this amazing program I learnt about the Svani culture… I live with the XIX century life of Ushba, Tetnuldi, Enguri and teach with the contemporary methods. I am convinced that teaching is an art, the same as painting, theatre and music. Yet I believe we create the most valuable product that determines the future of our country".
